I'm afraid after another home loss, the blueprint of how to beat us is out there. A long ball over the top to set up the first and perhaps only goal then park the proverbial bus as Notts seem bereft of ideas of our to break an eleven man defence down.

First the Gills now Vale. I'm hoping CFC won't be the same as they are the home side so I expect them to attack.

It's going to be quite a raucous affair and hopefully this Notts side won't fold as maybe last season's would have.

Thankfully, McGoldrick will be back, how we missed his guile against Vale.

I'd be happy with a point, anything than the last time I saw Notts at the old Saltergate ground, it was 1969, we lost 5-0 and had Dave Needham sent off.

Odd things you recall as a youngster, I remember hearing Malcolm Macdonald had scored for Luton Town on the way back home. Years later I got to know his brother, it's a small world.

1-1 for me.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRRR
